Young Filmmakers Contest Collaborates with Youth Climate Report

Young environmental filmmakers will find two opportunities to showcase their work through the collaboration of two non-profits: the Youth Climate Report (YCR) based in Toronto, Canada, and One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest (OEYFC) based in Chicago, IL, USA. Both organizations seek films about climate change and related topics.

"You could say we're 'doubling down' on the power of environmental filmmaking to create greater impact," says Dr. Mark Terry, Executive Director of the Youth Climate Report. "Our decision to collaborate with the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest stems from the shared values and common goals we have in addressing climate issues. Our efforts align so closely, and together, we can amplify the message in ways that truly make a difference."
